View all →About This Event
The Czech Pavel Haas Quartet performs three engaging quartets at The Queens Hall during the Edinburgh International Festival on 28 August 2026. Ticket prices are subject to confirmation on the event website.
The Czech Pavel Haas Quartet bring their characteristic joie de vivre to three engaging quartets, by composers who reached across the Atlantic to explore new musical avenues. Bohuslav Martinů’s Third Quartet is a fascinating exploration of texture, with its spiky opening movement and its bluesy central Andante. The finale is an absolute riot of speed and virtuosity. Before he headed for Hollywood and a much-garlanded career as a film composer, Erich Korngold was a busy and successful composer in his native Austria. He wrote his Second String Quartet shortly before he left for the US. While it charms and dances, it also disconcerts with some dissonant, sharp edges. Antonín Dvořák’s quartets from the 1890s are some of his most flamboyantly tuneful chamber works. His ‘American’ quartet is infused with folk melodies from his three-year stay in the United States.
